I also got a cool gold tie clip from President Bush.
LMAO! Democrats: We are the party of Attention Whores! Perfect!
they could have donated these flags to area schools for children to have and take home.
Thanks for the ping, Clint.

link above to more pics of flags in trash bags.
I wish I had a direct conduit to them, but I am a meer peon in a sea of peons.
Year or so ago I worked for a Home Supply Center (’H’ar’D’ not to say the company’s name here)and the store had United States flags left after the 4th of July. Store management was just getting ready to throw 60 plus in the dumpster.
I asked if I could have them and recycle them. His deer in the headlights look was great. I did get them after several minutes after he recoved.
Exactly...You would think that they would give them out sensing that people would want them, if for no other reason than to indicate “I was there” at such an historical event (like keeping a concert ticket stub—of course, this is still demeaning to the Flag). The fact that these flags were cast-offs, that they thought nothing of bringing them to the next event (can you picture the government waste if these guys get in) is indicative of their lack of stewardship with regard to resources (thus their lack of vision of tomorrow) and of their understanding of the power of symbols.
LOL! The perfect photo op that the MSM will never report!
Not sure if that picture at the top is an actual Photo of the flags that were to be thrown away, but hey are unused if you ask me. Bad enough to throw away perfectly good used flags, worst that they were new. They clowns are going to save our economy???
May god bless the BSA!!!
We are blessed by the stupidity of our political opponents, time after time. If not for the drive by media, McCain/Palin would be up 20% in the polls.
same boy scouts who had their bus sandbagged and rocked by protesters at RNC?
“Campaign Carl” is on site and all over this story....fingers crossed they’ll televise this during today’s Colorado Springs stop.
Hardball is right.
This is now on Drudge!! It isn’t in red, and no flashing siren, but at least it’s there.
“But the Republicans are obviously questioning someones patriotism here.”
Yes! Question their patriotism! Every day and in every way that you can!
Take it from me, a true ‘Conserve-’ative who doesn’t waste a thing. :)
crap...you beat me to it. LOL
